Yet another long-overdue review regarding an extremely talented artist. African-AmericanBrides.com is no stranger to Daveia Odoi of Dynasmiles. Long before she became the design powerhouse she is now, she created our very first beloved blog banner. Two things struck me back then. What we learned even from that project was that even if she knows you personally Daveia brings class, professionalism, and endless creativity to her work. Nowadays she offers a variety of products and I'm proud to say I knew her when. But does her new wedding stationery stand up to our expectations? We reviewed the line to find out.

When I got my hands on the Daveia's invitations, I noticed her trademark colorful and playful style right away. I thought about today's modern, personal, close-knit weddings and felt that she was on the right track. If invitations set the tone of each couple's nuptials, then these pieces definitely let the invitees know they're in for a joyous occasion. Everything was so beautiful and cultural. What a blessing to have stationery that reflects your life and who you are. Needless to say, I was very impressed! What do you think of these invitations and thank you cards?

As longtime readers know, I have always been a stickler about paper quality. Sure, some people believe invitations are made to be read and then thrown away. But I know better. Many family members and friends keep wedding-related stationery FOR YEARS. So while you don't have to spend a mint on invitations or thank you cards, if nice to have quality paper that can stand the test of time. Judging by the feel of the card stock from this wedding line, Dynasmiles must have known this too. In addition, these can be customized with your own text and color schemes.

Since my wedding was almost a decade ago, I can't benefit from this gorgeous line. That's why I'm happy to see that Dynasmiles also offers cards for children's birthday parties, showers and other special occasions!
